"I met a soldier, on the base at Fort Hood.
|
I said, 'how do you do it?'
|
He said, 'there's bad with the good.'
|
And no matter how tough it gets,
|
The soldier stands strong.
|
Keeping our family, flag and country free,
|
And righting the wrong.
|
|
I met a soldier, she was thanking me.
|
At first it was strange to hear,
|
Then I started to see.
|
What it meant to have someone
|
Appreciate her sacrifice,
|
And everything she gives for us,
|
Defending our rights.
|
|
-CHORUS-
|
God bless the soldier
|
As they walk the streets.
|
Let them know how much it means
|
To have them keep our country free.
|
|
When you meet a soldier, stand and salute.
|
Take a moment to show your love
|
for everything that they do.
|
Don't be afraid, give them your praise.
|
For this is the stranger that is willing
|
To give their life for you.
|
|
God bless the soldier."
